re: The fall of Allen Iverson

AI seems to be The Answer to the question of "What superstar athlete has had the biggest financial flame-out?"

He could still be in the league if he were willing to be a bench player, but his ego wouldn't allow him to do so. That's why he ended up getting waived by Detroit and later Memphis.

That may not pay him superstar dollars, but the veteran minimum is nothing to sneeze at, let alone when you're fricking broke.
